I’m so sorry guys for not posting anything in a long time. How are you all doing? I heard the weather is pretty bad in the Netherlands, haha. The last two weeks went by so fast and I’ve been to lot of places and didn’t had wifi or time to make good blog posts about it, so now I finally have the rest and wi-fi, I’ll tell and show you everything from the last two weeks.

I’ll start with my last days in Costa Rica, in hotel Bougainvillea. The last week I worked as a waitress in the restaurant. I would leave the last day of October, and go to curaçao to celebrate my 18th birthday with my parents. But what we didn’t know was that because I was still a minor by that time I needed permission of my parents and so I could first not leave the country haha. Eventually everything turned out right and I was able to leave. The last day was amazing, it was sad though but still amazing! The people from the hotel were so nice and became really like a family to me. I baked another cake to thank everybody, and then as a surprise I got my own cake already for my birthday, they gave me all kind of little presents. It was really special and something I will never ever forget.

It’s been a while, i know, but because I work all day here its not that special to post 3 times a week about haha. The time pass by very fast and now it’s already my last full week here, next Thursday I’ll leave Costa Rica (if everything is right…!!) haha why? Because I just found out that I need permission to leave the country, because I’m still (12 hours left) a minor when I leave Costa Rica. But it will be fine. Here are some pictures of last week when I worked in the kitchen. I had an amazing time, the people here are all so nice, and yes my Spanish is making reaaally good progress, haha.

Sorry I couldn’t post any sooner, but here we are again. It’s already a week and a half ago that I left beautiful Tamarindo and arrived in San Jose in the neighborhood Santo Domingo, where I am working for 4 weeks. I flew from Tamarindo to here with a mini plane, because it was waaaay faster and cheaper than with a transfer. Besides, you have a beautiful view and see much more from the country.

Hotel Bougainvillea is amazing! It has a ginormous beautiful garden with 100 of different plants and flowers. They have an amazing staff, who are all so friendly, helpful and kind and great owners who give me this opportunity.

My Spanish will definitely improve here! I have no choice and really have to speak it because no one can’t speak English properly.

I will make an other post with some pictures of the hotel, to give you an idea of where I live and work at the moment.
